Net Protections, Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shin Shibata; “Net Protections”) is pleased to announce that its Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) service, atone has been introduced as a payment method for Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team. The popular smartphone-based head-to-head football simulation game, published by KLab Inc. (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hidekatsu Morita; “KLab”), a global leader in mobile online gaming.
Background of Integration
KLab is a world-renowned publisher in the mobile gaming industry, with Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team surpassing 65 million downloads globally and overseas sales accounting for over 70% of its total revenue. To provide a more seamless purchasing experience for its diverse global user base, KLab sought to expand its payment ecosystem.
By integrating atone, KLab provides a secure and inclusive shopping environment for users who do not own credit cards or prefer not to register card information due to security concerns.
atone was selected for its unique value proposition: immediate usage without app download or sign-up. Beyond reaching the non-cardholder segment, atone enhances the payment experience for users who prioritize speed and simplicity such as those who find manual card entry tedious or wish to complete transactions without interrupting their gameplay or navigating away from the app. This optimization of the checkout flow is expected to drive higher engagement and conversion within Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team.
About atone
atone is a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) service available for both online and in-store purchases. Users can complete their purchases immediately and pay later without registering a bank account, credit card, or adding funds. For merchants, atone helps reduce cart abandonment by making checkout easier for customers who might otherwise leave without completing their purchase. In physical stores, atone supports cashless payments even for customers who have credit cards but prefer not to use them. Additionally, atone’s reward points program makes it easier for merchants to attract new customers and encourage repeat purchases.
